Woman booked for taking Rs 54L for medical seat

A resident of a posh housing society in Worli has been booked for allegedly cheating an 83-year-old woman on the pretext of getting a medical seat for her grandson.

The alleged accused, Sunita Ashok Sharma, is a resident of Sukhada Co-Operative Society, where several high-profile people stay.

Mirror learnt that Sharma was booked after a resident of Dadar, Premlata Shivcharan Singh, lodged a police complaint. Singh alleged that Sharma had taken Rs 54 lakh from her to get her grandson a seat for MD at MGM University of Health Sciences in Navi-Mumbai. “When Singh realised that Sharma could not arrange the seat, she started demanding the money back. Sharma returned Rs 50,000,” said Jitendra Pawar, senior inspector of Worli police station.
